From 9ca8dbcc65cfc63d6f5ef3312a33184e1d726e00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunhong Jiang Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2015 12:17:53 -0700 Subject: Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base. It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and the base is: commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2 Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200 Prepare v4.1.3-rt3 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

The Linux kernel only offloads the TCP and UDP +checksums (and always performs the pseudo header checksums), so +the driver only supports checksumming for TCP/IP and UDP/IP +packets. Use ethtool to enable or disable this feature for RX +and TX. + +VLAN + +In order to use VLAN, please consult Linux documentation on +configuring VLANs. The gianfar driver supports hardware insertion and +extraction of VLAN headers, but not filtering. Filtering will be +done by the kernel. + +MULTICASTING + +The gianfar driver supports using the group hash table on the +TSEC (and the extended hash table on the eTSEC) for multicast +filtering. On the eTSEC, the exact-match MAC registers are used +before the hash tables. See Linux documentation on how to join +multicast groups. + +PADDING + +The gianfar driver supports padding received frames with 2 bytes +to align the IP header to a 16-byte boundary, when supported by +hardware. + +ETHTOOL + +The gianfar driver supports the use of ethtool for many +configuration options. You must run ethtool only on currently +open interfaces. See ethtool documentation for details. -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
